You wont find a better endorsement for a car than that... buy it now I know everyone's different but in my opinion it's worth paying that bit extra for a minter, despite the age. My zed is an 02 import but i paid an awful lot more than your average zed, given that its in MINT condition, and had 2 folders full of paperwork and a well documented history of ownership on here. I'd prefer a garage queen import that's done 3000 miles a year since new, and probably never seen a rainy day than an 80k miler thats been used to go to work every day.

Love it man...

Welcome mate. Keep an eye out for car shows. There's a show at Castle Combe in May called Japfest and you can sign up and pay for a 15minute session on track there (be quick though, i think they're running out). Similarly, Japfest 2 is in July i think at Donnington, and they offer the same chance at track time. It's a really good, safe experience. Another option would be to look out for a Sprint day. You only do 1 lap at a time and then wait your turn for the next lap... not as much fun but easy on your car. I did one at Curborough and it was only £60 for the full day, and i got about 25 laps.

Excited for your holidays?

Love them. They look great

Yep, definitely audio learning in the car for the win.

Forgot to update this... these sold a few weeks ago.

www.mymemory.co.uk is a good place for memory cards. I recently got 2x 32gb class 10 memory cards for £38 (going via Quidco). Bargain.

Love it!

Come on Jim, spill the beans...

Welcome Julien

I'll keep my eye out for that Jim, im a big coffee fan

+1 and that video prevents my from muting my sound too - so i have to listen to it all the way through - infuriating if i had it on full volume

Hmmm me too. Mines been on the driveway since early December (I couldn't bring myself to drive it with my naff winter wheels on). Got my MOT booked for next week and will re tax it from 1st March - cant wait! I've been driving a 1.3 Mk 6 Fiesta instead so I'm expecting big things when I get it back

I like it.

... after all that searching and you've found one thats covered in rust Welcome mate.

Again don't take this the wrong way mate but I don't think there is any liklihood of you taking a pay cut - you must be brushing the minimum wage banding now. I always err on the side of caution when people ask this question.........this time I am absolutley saying go for it - what the hell is even keeping you from going 'Falling Down' now is beyond me. +1 - get it done. ...dont completely give up on office work though - it's not all bad if you can get some quals/find the right job.

Cool vid tim. I bought a GoPro HD last weekend, but it hasn't got any mounts with it... Any cheap ones you can recommend/avoid?

Switch it on and have a look round the outside of the car to see if any lights turn on anywhere. Alternatively, have a feel under the dash and find out where the wires go.

Get under the back of the car and have a look. You will find that one/several of the mounting points will have rusted through. Easy fix - just get some large washers and refit the mounting nuts to hold it in place. 5 mins work.

I made these but u can do them yourself: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=41016&hilit=Boycey&start=0

Interesting, and it's good to see new items cropping up. Don't like the fact that it seems raised up in the middle. Where's KTA at... Can he make these?

Find a nice big empty car park with no cameras and go have a play. Turn off your tcs, drive at about 5mph turning the wheel, stay on the accelerator and just dip the clutch in and out once quickly. This is called a clutch kick and will get your wheels spinning. Don't lift off the power at this point - stay on it...
